Garena has been the most popular gaming website that lets gamers connect and play with or against each other. However, here in the Philippines, the most common issues encountered by players in Garena Philippines are lag and disconnection issues because of high ping in the game. Imagine that you are in the mood to play DotA and suddenly, just after the game loads, a player was about to get disconnected. The game host did not bother to check the ping of each player just started the game. What is worst is that a team will be down by a player. Instead of having a 5 vs 5 game, now it will become 5 vs 4. Sometimes, worst comes to worst, a number of players will be disconnected and a handful will enjoy the game.

Here are some steps to reduce your ping while playing a game in Garena:

1. Stable Internet Connection: Having an unstable internet connection is the number one culprit why you lag, delay, or encounter disconnections in Garena. A speed of at least 1 mbps is recommended have a very smooth game play.
2. Applications: Applications may consume some of your internet’s bandwidth, so it would be advisable to close all unnecessary programs. Try to refrain from downloading stuff from the internet or buffer a video while playing the game as this will result in lagging/delay.
3. Game Host: Choose the game host wisely. Make sure that the ping of the game host is 100 and below to prevent in-game lag/delay. I know that some rooms have a lot of users but has no game creators. Just because only one has created a game, you will automatically join. Trust me, the stress while inside the game is not worth the play. I would suggest to remain patient and wait for the creator who has a better connection.
4. Country: It is preferred that you play within the same country, thus, having great connection to the game host and have a lower ping.
